"When I took over my company there were several problems that needed to be addressed. At the top of the list was corporate branding. This is where I turned to my trusted advisor Kevin Popovic. Having worked with Kevin in the past I knew I would get someone who had the creative talent and passion to drive a meaningful solution. Kevin lead us through the ideation and implementation of our new brand which has served as the foundation to remake this company."
"First, I want it on record that you provided us with excellent work. In addition, your personal commitment to the NobelBiz team spirit was an incredible added value in so many ways. You’re a leader and an often inspiration. I found that you were equally interested in providing sound advice while, similarly, able to accept insights and direction. You are a special person with a valuable service!"
"Kevin is one of those people who delivers exactly as promised. His reputation as a marketing and communications expert is well earned. We hired him as our CSO to get our marketing and communications plan moving in the right direction and in short order he delivered. If you have the chance to work with him, don’t pass it up."
